@mods - can you you confirm why this thread was unstickied?

It's an active war, with black people in the country and ramifications for the US and European partners. This is required pertinent information and not just some BS diaspora or gender wars

Edit* I actually don't know any mods who are in this room @CHICAGO, maybe?

This is actually a pretty sweet Ukrainian psychological operation.

Russia is suppressing information about losses and refusing to allow media to print stories about dead or captured soldiers.

So Ukraine is weaponizing Russian families to get information into Russia. They get the social media or messaging sn of family members from the soldiers, have the soldiers speak to their families and tell them how terrible their war effort was ("I've been captured! All my friends are dead! We didn't even know Putin was sending us to war!"). At the same time they share they're being treated okay and Ukrainians are treating them well. Family spreads the news to their family and friends and it goes viral. Multiply this by 1000 captured Russian soldiers and you can imagine the propaganda benefit.

There are darker aspects too - like Russia has refused to help Ukraine identify remains so there's a whole social media channel just showing dead Russian bodies with people asking Russian families to come take a look and see if they know anyone. (And other anti-Russia people taking a look and commenting some...uh...not nice things.)

Altogether it's designed to create unrest in Russia, to accentuate the Russians losses and Russian failures while putting Ukraine in a sympathetic light. This is having a HUGE impact in a Russia where the press is completely controlled by the state.

Thanks for providing this perspective. This type of nuance is what a few of us were looking for beyond the fukkery/bickering.lol.

These TLR dudes would be the ones using outdated maps and have you invading the Ottoman Empire by accident :dead:

what does this war have to do with nazis?
:gucci:


Getting rid of Ukrainian Nazis was one the reasons for the invasion according to Putin

"The purpose of this operation is to protect people who for eight years now have been facing humiliation and genocide perpetrated by the Kyiv regime," he said, according to an English translation from the Russian Mission in Geneva. "To this end, we will seek to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including against citizens of the Russian Federation."
